A good way to save money on air-conditioning is to use it in conjunction with a fan. Because the fan makes you feel cooler as it evaporates sweat, you can be comfortable at a higher room temperature in an air-conditioned room.

This can save you quite a bit of money. Every degree you raise your thermostat saves you around 4 percent of your air-conditioning energy use. If your air conditioning costs $180 each summer month when your thermostat is set at 71 degrees, raising it to 78 degrees lowers that cost to about $125 per month. In terms of comfort, the 71-degree air-conditioned room does not feel significantly different from the same air-conditioned room at 78 degrees when the air is circulated by a good quality fan.

We are running our own study and need to capture more data from our many Bond users. So we are challenging our BOND usersto show us their energy cost savings! We’re running this contest through the end of the year but you’ll have 2 chances to WIN!

Here’s how it works:

Contest runs April 2019 – December 2019

To show comparison, please provide a heating / cooling bill from either March or April 2017 or 2018 and one from the same month in 2019

If you use are already using your ceiling fan in conjunction with your heating and cooling system your March bill should work, otherwise you can begin using the fan now and submit your April ’19 bill
